If a neighbours wifi is unprotected all you have to do is connect to it from the list on your computer/device - it's not legal still I believe but you can do it that way

(it won't have a lock next to it on a list of available wifi connections)


if you goto a website which has https instead of http at the start of the address you should be secure regardless of connection. Should be...

Hey KidKruger,


You could use the internet tethering feature on the iphone, enabling it as a modem.


But if you do check with your service provider first for the cost of doing this, just in case they are charging an hefty amount to use it.


Here is a link on how to set it up via the phone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3574

I've had no phone line for 3wks and the cable won't be repaired till Jan 18th (apparently council permission has to be organised). I do have Bb and TV :-S


Neighbours on the other side of the same junction box have had no Bb while I've had no phone .....

I do work from home and intend to take them to the cleaners.


I do empathise that the snow we've had must play havoc with the underground cabling and it must be awful for the guys (usually chaps) that have to be out in all weathers at junction boxes and playing about under the pavement.


What really upsets me though is the denial (from others ..... those that are presumably cosy in their offices) and the fact that we have to ask for recompense. When I got the news on 23rd that I had 4 more weeks without phone (or fax which is still very important for me) I had to demand some courtesy facility.


I suggested a courtesy mobile or courtesy SIM card for my own (?15 for 300mins) .... this IS after all Xmas and NY and they must know a lot of my calls are international anyway..... the response made me wonder whether someone didn't know what day it was.


I had to do a real number in their shop (given that no line means not even access to an operator or emergency services).


A real one of these :

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
